It was a day like any other when my cell phone woke me up
I took my morning piss and then I poured myself a cup
Of coffee which I drink each morning as I surf the net
But this became a day I’d say... I never will forget
My cell phone read no internet connection had been found
And then things got weird the sun appeared as if it were going down
I wondered why it got dark outside so I went out there to see
And when I looked up I saw a giant object there right over me
This flying saucer hovering two miles above the ground
It looked to me to be about ten football fields around
For several minutes it hovered there and had all of us in fear
Then suddenly it played a note that all of us could hear
But the tone that it emitted it was soft and warm and low
And then a beam of light came down and it began to glow
Then that note abruptly ended then another note was played
Then another beam of light and it was soft and warm like clay on a sunny day
Like the movie we’ve all seen called close encounters of third kind
All who were near could hear and thought they’d nearly lost their minds
Then laser lights the kinds of like we’d never seen my before
Came streaking down and then we found there were creatures in the door
And to the lights and music they all broke into a song
Sang in our own language oh yeah they did they surely sang along
We come in peace to try to save the human race
We’ll intervene we’ll come between fix up this place
We’re here to totally remove all your hatred and corruption
We will save this place and the human race from eventual destruction
We come in peace…
They sang we see the future and for you it’s very grim
Time to put away your differences and time to all be friends
We come in peace is what they sang yeah that’s what we heard them sing
But the song was stopped when they all got shot by our mighty war machine
Well the papers read they were all shot dead cause the aliens attacked
But everyone who heard observed and know exactly all the facts
They came in peace so war would cease and save our human race
To intervene know what I mean and to change this crazy place
They came in peace…

37 years Most of my tunes are on iTunes, Amazon, Google-Play, Spotify and others...

What was the first concert you ever went to?

Molly Hatchet and 38 Special in Lakeland Florida 1978.

What gear do you use?

I have over 40 guitars of all makes and models, I have tons of pa and recording
equipment and nearly every instrument you can think of.

What are you looking for from Fandalism?

Great music and good musicians to collaborate with.

Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?

Elton John/Bernie Taupin. Melody and lyrics like no other. My cousin John introduced me to his music with the release of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. What an incredible musical journey that album is.

Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?

I played in my first band out of Dallas, Texas called Frankie Cashmere and the Sweaters and we also had another name Flyer. Then I moved to Orlando and started a band called No Doubt. Of course we had to drop that name and then called ourselves I-51 which was the warehouse number we practiced in. In early 2000 I played occasionally with a group in Nashville called the Trailer-park Troubadours. Now i just write songs for others to perform and I sell them on YouTube.

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?

I already have jammed with one of my favorites. Pat Traverse...
I'd also love to jam with Steve Miller or Roger Waters.

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?

I played in Orlando at the grand opening of Mars music. That was where I played with Pat Traverse.

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?

Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits. First heard it when I moved back to the States and my new friend Kevin introduced me to them. Just overall excellent music with well written understandable lyrics and great melodies.
